Autumn Hair
by Charles E MinshallMy head on top
Is looking like my bottom,
The hair that was there
Has reached it's autumn.
Now the area
From eyebrows to nape,
Is as bare as my bottom
There is no escape.
The Lord giveth, and taketh,
The Lord taketh away,
Darneth the taketh
For the bareness display.
I wish hair would return
Like flora each spring,
But I guess one can't
Have everything.
H-m-m-m, flowers growing
On the top of my head,
I think I'll make do
With the bareness instead.

| Posted by Glenn Currier on 06/19/05 at 06:16 PM LOL! I, for one, can REALLY appreciate this one, both its humor and its small frustration. As usual, you cause me to laugh at the undeniably real. |
| Posted by JD Clay on 08/03/05 at 12:32 PM I'd give it a shot if it weren't for the ruts that noisey tiller leaves in my dome, hehe! Good stuff, Bro.
